Step-by-step instructions :

Before using this tool:

If you are not using the Model Tree (as shown in step 1), you need to make sure that the member that incorporates the material that you want to isolate is displayed in a solid form .

Step 1 (preselection) is optional. If you don't do step 1, in-tool selection is required -- see note 3 .

	1 . Select the material that you want to isolate. In this example, the material is selected in the Model Tree . See note 1 for other ways to select materials.
	2 . Invoke Isolate Material by Location . If you didn't do step 1, see note 3 before going to step 3.
	3 . Material isolation's edit the material mode opens. The isolated material is shown from the perspective of preset view number 0 and is displayed per User and Site Options > Modeling > " Member isolation solid display type ." To change to a different view or edit views, press the " Edit views " button.

Note 1: Ways to select a material for isolation include:

Use the Model Tree (as shown in step 1).

In Select Items mode with the selection filter set to " Default ' or " Material ', place the mouse pointer ( ) over the one (1) material that you want to isolate, then left-click ( Select ) so that it is displayed in the User and Site Options > Modeling > " Primary selection color ."

To select a material that is hidden by another material (or if " Default ' is the selection filter and you want a member main material), hover the material in Select Items mode, then right-click ( Menu ), choose " Select other " and select the material mark of the material.

Note 2: To invoke Isolate Material by Location , choose Model > Material > Isolate Material by Location (classic), or use a keyboard shortcut , or click the icon. For lightning, Customize Interface is used to configure ribbons, keyboards, the context menu and modes.

Note 3: If you didn't do step 1 (preselection), Isolate Material by Location activates Select One Item mode so that you can select the one material. This prompting also occurs when a member, bolt, hole or multiple materials (instead of one material) was selected in step 1.

Note 4: Preset view number 0, which is the view that is first shown when you Isolate Material by Location correlates to the main view of the material on its submaterial detail.

Material isolation's two modes :

The two modes of material isolation are edit the material mode and edit views mode .

Edit the material mode lets you make changes to one material, resulting in that one material being assigned a different material mark . You can get Change All Options in this mode, but changing all materials is not required -- it is optional. Options found on the Model > Material menu are enabled (not grayed out).
Edit views mode works on all materials with the same material mark. Any changes to material views made in isolation are automatically applied to all materials with the same material mark. Views that are selectable on the view list in material isolation's edit views mode become the views that are shown on member details after Detail Submaterial .
